StatusCake 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

statuscake.com Supported

StatusCake supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your StatusCake account.

A StatusCake account can expose source code, deploy keys, and infrastructure — prime targets for attackers. Besides an authenticator app, StatusCake also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods StatusCake supports

  • SMS text message
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

    Install Authenticator App - Novaz from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and open it — you'll use it to scan StatusCake's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to StatusCake and open your StatusCake account security settings.

  3. 3

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

    Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code StatusCake displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  5. 5

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your StatusCake account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If StatusCake shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how StatusCake recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

Menu names on StatusCake can change — the official StatusCake 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your StatusCake account

If you lose access to your authenticator and StatusCake gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If StatusCake doesn't, or you didn't save them, use StatusCake's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
